Life in Stratford-on-Avon was hard, and when Shakespeare was twenty-one years old, he went to London. In London he joined a group of actors. At first he only helped the actors. By and by he began to play himself. Later he began to write play for the theatre. Soon he became the greatest writer of plays in his time.
